Reviews

ExitCertified was a great. They gave me all the materials and information I needed ahead of time to prepare for the course.

The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.

Although there seemed to be too many links for the course, everything worked smoothly.

the course is good, covers many aspects, wish the lab is a little bit more in depth

The tool provided to practice the course teachings is very functional and easy to use.
